The Latvian Wikipedia (Latvian : Vikipēdija latviešu valodā [ˈvikipɜːdija] ) is the Latvian-language edition of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. It was created on 6 June 2003. [2] [3] [4] With more than 132,000 articles, it is currently the 68th-largest Wikipedia as measured by the number of articles [5] and the second-largest Wikipedia in a Baltic language after the Lithuanian Wikipedia. [6]

Contents

As of February 2021, it was the most visited language Wikipedia in Latvia. [7] It ranked before the Russian Wikipedia and the English Wikipedia. [8] [9]

History

The Latvian Wikipedia was created alongside the Serbian, Kannada, Walloon, Wolof, and Xhosa Wikipedias. [3] The oldest article is "Psihologija", which was published on 6 June 2003 and redirected to "Psiholoģija" (psychology) on 7 December 2004. [10] The main page was added four months after the first article, on 6 October 2003. [11]

The edition's initial growth was slow and some articles about important aspects of Latvian culture were missing at first. [2] The article about Jāņi, for instance, was not written until March 2008. [12] The Latvian Wikipedia's growth rate has been very stable since 2006. [13]

On 30 September 2013, the VisualEditor was made available to logged-in users, and by 7 October 2013, it was available to all users on the Latvian Wikipedia. [14]

The Latvian Wikipedia turned 10 years old on 6 June 2013. A commemorative logo was uploaded for the occasion, and small parties among the community's "Wikiholics" ensued, as it is customary whenever a new milestone is reached. [15] The edition surpassed 50,000 articles on 17 August 2013. [4]

On 22 September 2004, the first Latvian "Wikipēdija" logo was uploaded, and on 1 June 2005, the name was changed to "Vikipēdija". [16] In Latvian media, the words "Wikipedia" and "Vikipēdija" are used interchangeably to refer to both Wikipedia in general and to the Latvian edition specifically, but "Vikipēdija" is more common. [17] [18]

In response to the Zolitūde shopping centre roof collapse disaster of 21 November 2013, the Latvian Wikipedia, just as several other Latvian websites, changed its logo for three days to include black and the image of a candle.

A separate Latgalian Wikipedia (ltg) was created on 18 March 2011. [19] Latgalian is spoken in Latgale, the eastern part of Latvia, and its standardized form is recognized and protected as a variety of Latvian language by Latvian law, [20] although it is debated whether it is a dialect of Latvian or a separate language. [21]

Neciklopēdija, the Latvian edition of Uncyclopedia, is a satirical website created on 30 November 2005 to parody the Latvian Wikipedia. An article outlining the internal politics between the Latvian Wikipedia's administrators and its most active users was written on 10 March 2011. [22]

Since 11 June 2014, a "!Bang" command on DuckDuckGo gives users the ability to redirect search queries to the Latvian Wikipedia by typing !wlv in their browser's URL bar. [23]

Latvian Wikipedia Marathon

The Latvian Wikipedia Marathon  [ lv ] (Latvian : Latvijas Vikipēdijas maratons) was a project that brought together the Latvian Wikipedia community with several private partners in a joint effort with the aim of expanding the Latvian Wikipedia to activate the usability of the Latvian language in the learning process, cognition and research work.

Policies

Since 31 October 2012, the Latvian Wikipedia displays a notice encouraging users to sign a petition on the Latvian social initiative platform ManaBalss.lv in an effort to change the Latvian copyright law, which permits taking pictures of architectural works and monuments, but only for non-commercial purposes. According to the petition, "such restrictions are not reasonable for buildings, monuments, sculptures and other three-dimensional works that cannot be fully reproduced in two dimensions". [2] [24] If the law changed, pictures of Latvian public buildings would become valid on Wikimedia Commons.

Images

The Latvian Wikipedia has an Exemption Doctrine Policy (Godprātīga lietošana) that allows local uploads of non-free, fair use images and audio/video files (with copyright restrictions). However, users are encouraged to release their work under a Creative Commons license and upload it on Wikimedia Commons instead, thus making it accessible throughout all editions of Wikipedia. This stance is similar to the English Wikipedia's, and in contrast to some other editions, which rely strictly on Wikimedia Commons for images, sound, and other media files, including i.a. the Spanish, Swedish, Polish, Basque, Czech, Danish, Volapük and Latin Wikipedias. [5] [27] [28]

Content and images from the Latvian Wikipedia often appear on Latvian news websites. [29] [30] [31] [32]

As of January2025, the Latvian Wikipedia's 132,000 articles [5] account for approximately 36% of all the articles written in a Baltic language, an increase from 24% in 2014. This makes it the second-largest edition in the family after Lithuanian, which accounts for 59%. [6] In 2018, the most popular articles were "Latvija" (Latvia), "2018. gada Pasaules čempionāts hokejā" (2018 IIHF World Championship), and "Rīga", the capital of Latvia. [33]

As of November 2019, the Latvian Wikipedia had 49 featured articles (vērtīgi raksti) and a moderate ratio of 0.5 featured articles per 1000 articles, [34] 110 good articles (labi raksti), [35] 19 featured lists (vērtīgi saraksti), [36] and 18 Wikiprojects (Vikiprojekts). [37]

As of January 2025, 156 articles on the English Wikipedia could be expanded by translating from the Latvian Wikipedia. [38]

Although there is still no Wikimedia chapter in Latvia, the Wikimedia Foundation officially recognized the Wikimedians of Latvia User Group (Latvian : Latvijas vikimedisti) on 5 March 2015. [39] It is an active user group representing all Wikimedians in Latvia.

In 2014, the Latvian Wikipedia was the third most read edition in Latvia, after the English Wikipedia and the Russian Wikipedia. [40] It is also the seventh most read edition on the island of Guernsey, [40] where there is an emerging Latvian diaspora of approximately 1,500 to 2,000 migrant workers. [41] Despite Latvian having less than 2 million speakers, the edition enjoys a relatively high level of community participation, with 54 editors per million speakers. [42]

At around 66.2[ needs update ] articles per thousand speakers, the Latvian Wikipedia has an above-average number of articles per speaker. [43] These figures were based on an estimate of 1.8 million speakers of Latvian. [44] Its editing community currently consists of 14 administrators (4.93% of all active users) and 284 active contributors, of which on average between 12 and 20 are very active every month, [d] and there are in total 62 users with over 1,000 edits (excluding bots), and 20 approved bots, assisting users in the editing process. [45] [46] [47] Around 90% of both views and edits originate from Latvia, where Wikipedia is the 12th most visited website. [48]
